It really feels to me that this column was written as an appeal to Jeff Bezos personally. I’m surprised it was published.

This is a hell of a column. Thank you for what you do.

This generation’s Roy Cohn and Lee Atwater. Though Trump is so surrounded by the type it’s hard to narrow it down. Donald Trump’s old friend Roy Cohn that is.

I don’t believe the administration will empower him to add new regulations the way he wants to (banning antidepressants and high fructose corn syrup). The admin wants disrupters and I’m sure he qualifies. The deregulating he may do is so much more dangerous.

I love Good Omens and this sentiment. But I’ve hardly heard her critics speak on the substance of what she said, they go straight to delegitimizing especially her but also her denomination. It’s a pattern.

I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering.”

“In the throes of addiction, I squandered many opportunities and advantages,” he added. “In recovery we can be given the opportunity to make amends where possible and rebuild our lives if we never take for granted the mercy that we have been afforded.

I copied and saved his statement from right after his pardon:
“I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction — mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport,” he said.

Roger Stone, however, may have been around. (I have no conclusive evidence of this.) Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Lee Atwater.

They still follow this pattern. This year it was migrant gangs and trans people. Maybe more I’m forgetting.

Of course I’m assuming that one day we will in fact have a House majority.

Even if we settle for a more moderate eventual Dem President that same bloc can leverage him/her and the Senate.

My plan is to donate for progressive House candidates and maybe close senate races. I live in MTG’s district and I can’t waste money that way (sorry Shawn Harris). If we regain that majority the progressive bloc has some limited leverage to push legislation we want and need.

I hope this is true. But I’m afraid it will only slow them down as they shop for judges. They’re awfully good at that.

I hope you’re ready for him. I’m sure he’s holding a grudge over all of your great ads.

Maybe Citizens Untited will one day be overturned. Precedent doesn’t seem to matter much anymore. Not by the Roberts court, of course.
